奇異恩典 (Amazing Grace)

奇異恩典 (Amazing Grace)作詞者約翰牛頓(John Newton)自稱為「卑鄙惡者」，

不配­蒙受神的恩典，但耶穌竟將此恩典施於其身。

當他得知耶穌基督深愛罪人，並為罪人受死，­他心中充滿無限驚奇。

當他接受耶穌作他生命的救主後，便寫下這首詩歌以讚美上帝的恩典­。

約翰牛頓從一個道德墮落，無所不為的奴隸販子，轉變為一個博貫群經，

榮神益人，蒙神重­用的傳道人，正是「奇異恩典」最好的寫照！

英文歌詞 :

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost, but now I'm found 

Was blind, but now I see 

Twas grace that taught my heart to fear 

And grace that fear relieved 

How precious did that grace appear 

The hour I first believed 

Through many dangers, toils, and snares 

I have already come 

Tis grace has brought me safe thus far 

And grace will lead me home 

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds 

in a believer's ear 

It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds 

And drives away his fear 

Must Jesus bear the cross alone 

And all the world go free 

No, there's a cross for everyone 

And there's a cross for me. 

When we've been here ten thousand years 

Bright shining as the sun, 

We've no less days to sing God's praise 

than when we first begun. 

中文翻譯  : 

奇異恩典，何等甘甜，我罪已得赦免． 

前我失喪，今被尋回，瞎眼今得看見． 

如此恩典，使我敬畏，使我心得安慰． 

初信之時，即蒙恩惠，真是何等寶貴． 

許多危險，試煉網羅，我已安然經過． 

靠主恩典，安全不怕，更引導我歸家． 

將來禧年，聖徒歡聚，恩光愛誼千年． 

喜樂頌讚，在父座前，深望那日快現．
